puke Just got outta the hospital a couple days ago.
Had to go to the ER.
Turns out I had "Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura"(ITP)
eeek A bleeding disorder that caused my PLATELETs in my cells to go to extreme low levels. blackeyed
normally one should have between 150,000-450,000 mm3.
I had 2,000.
I had sores and bruises appearing all over my body, nose bleeds, and i was bleeding internally. I could really feelit in my kidneys and bladder*PAIN* blackeyed blackeyed blackeyed

lucky enough this disorder was Acute, meaningthere was no physical ailment causes it, it just appeared. the docs say there is no known reason why it happens.
eeek they did say that I was so bad that I could have started bleeding into my lungs blackeyed or even my BRAIN skull .

And then i could go into a stroke, even death skull

the treatment went well, thank, whatever god u beleive in.

wink I had to get TRANSFUSIONS of platelets, and Hemogloulins in me, AND Prednisone( a steroid tablet) treatments.

It was slow going, but I bounced back quicker than the doc thought i would(they felt I would be admitted for at least 2weeks)

After my last CBC(bloodwork), I was up to 324,000 mm3.
smile The only thing I'm on now is the Predinsone(Ihave to reduce it slowly). hopefully by midway next week, I'll be off it totally.

Good thing, I've been feeling some of the sideeffects that goes with it(Flushed, heartburn, drymouth, increase urination puke )
being a steroid, I gotta be careful. oink

I AM SO GLAD THIS WAS NOT ANYMORE SERIOUS THAN IT COULD HAVE BEEN. I PUT A GOOD FACE ON WHILE AT THE HOSPITAL, BUT INSIDE, I WAS REALLYWORRIED. EVEN SCARED. FOR SOMETHING TO COME OUT LIKE THIS OUTTA NOWHERE AND ALMOST KILL ME, MAKES U THINK MORE ABOUT WHATS GOING ON IN ONES LIFE.
I'M VERY GLAD FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO WERE THERE WHEN I NEEDED THEM.

My next goal now is to get things in order in my life.(I"M NOT GOING RELIGIOUS)
but the little things i keep putting off, both personally and professionally. smile
I'll be $broke$ afterwards for awhile, but i'll bounce back.

I'm a fighter.
HEPNESS TO ALL,
Sean

p.s. Bone marrow extraction. is no fun, and it hurts blackeyed
